If you thought this handle was cool, check out this amazing knife with an epoxy handle. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZBAIKOOruG4.html
I did not understand what you were doing when breaking that wood, but I was definitely impressed by the end. What an awesome way to add some artistic flair. Fantastic work!
Whenever I see epoxy I panic and think “oh god they’re gonna ruin this thing by covering it in light blue!” And I was extremely relieved when this was done with consideration and care. Sick video
Sir, I ask forgiveness. I didn’t think you’d pull off restoring this knife. I stand corrected. It turned out to be one of the most beautiful blades I’ve ever seen. The handle is second to none. I applaud your talents. 👏👏👏
What a thoughtful and unique transformation!!! That handle treatment is one of a kind!!! Your many skills have produced a beautiful piece of art!!! Well done sir!! The Old Army Scout…
Judging by the enormous grain structure on the knife, uneven holes in the handle ad how fast the belt grinds off the edge it's clearly handmade. Doesn't seem to have been quenched/hardened either. Looks great but wouldn't try to use it as an actual knife, more of a letter opener.
Thank you for the info on the restoration. I have not tried making a folding knife yet or restoring one. Years ago I made a small hunting knife (Steel was D2). The professional knife maker I went to see was quite impressed with the knife. There is a pocket knife here that I can use for a restoration project. I always wanted to try making a pocket knife - however that is different as I realize you have working parts. However this helps a lot. Thanks again. The handle material (for the hunting knife) was giraffe shinbone. I would like to use mammoth ivory for the pocket knife handle.
Gawd! I was hoping you would leave the rust patina on the blade. Was also thinking, if it didn't come with brass, it should get some. Truly stunning dagger!
Love the way you incorporated the pitting into the dagger. Plus the handle was a great way to preserve the old pitting. Adds character and an artistic flair to it. Great job!
Hola..he visto muchas restauraciones de cuchillos, pero este es el mas hermoso que vi como quedo, muy original. Lo felicito amigo por su gran trabajo. Saludos desde Cordoba, Argentina.
Absolutely fantastic that looks awesome what a clever idea. Like the other gentleman I thought you had lost the plot but it turned out fantastic 👍👍👍😊😊😊♥️
I too must admit that I could not understand your unique wood cutting standard, but the end result was awesome. The second thing was that you were able to restore an edge to that blade, it looked lost for sure. Thanks for sharing this video. 👍👍🇺🇸😁🤣
That handle is genious! I make mine wirh deer antler mostly,but been wanting to expand so ive done a few from iron wood,cberry,leather,and i do 95% or bettrr of my work by hand,wirh the only power tools used mainly is a drill for pin holes and tang slots and fine detail stuff with dremmel. Ideas have been running stale as of late...then this gem is in my feed!! That is just an amazing idea and im gona try my hand at it amd pray it resembles somewhat close to yours!
Was re-watching and love the idea for the pvc tub you used to soak the knife. Did you cement the caps on the end? I have been thinking of that but haven't followed through due to possible contaminates.
